Deutsch Europäische Union

Die Europäische Union' (EU) ist ein aus 27 europäischen Staaten bestehender Staatenverbund eigener Prägung (sui generis). Die Bevölkerung der EU umfasst derzeit rund 498 Millionen Einwohner. Im EU-Binnenmarkt erwirtschaften die Mitgliedstaaten zusammen das größte Bruttoinlandsprodukt der Welt. Gegenwärtig basiert die Europäische Union auf dem am 1. November 1993 in Kraft getretenen Vertrag über die Europäische Union und bildet die Dachkonstruktion der sogenannten drei „Säulen“ Europäische Gemeinschaften (EG), Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik (GASP) sowie Polizeiliche und justizielle Zusammenarbeit in Strafsachen (PJZS).

English European Union - European Union

The European Union (EU) is a unique supranational and intergovernmental union of 27 democratic member states. The population of the EU currently has around 498 million inhabitants. In the EU single market, the Member States together generate the largest gross domestic product in the world. The European Union was established under that name in 1992 by the Treaty on European Union (the Maastricht Treaty). Many aspects of the Union existed before that date through a series of predecessor relationships, dating back to 1951.

Español Unión Europea

La Unión Europea supone la coordinación económica de los pueblos europeos para evitar conflictos económicos internos que puedan volver a llevar a Europa a su debacle. También es una respuesta de los estados del bienestar contra la economía puramente capitalista de otras países. En la actualidad la forman 27 democracias con el 30,3% del PIB mundial (Según Banco Mundial a 2005).

Français Union Européenne

L’Union européenne, née le 7 février 1992, lors de la signature du traité sur l'Union européenne à Maastricht par les douze États membres de la Communauté économique européenne (CEE), est une union intergouvernementale et supranationale composée de 27 États. L'UE est la première puissance économique de la planète avec 30,30 % du PIB mondial (Banque mondiale, Total GDP, 2005).

Português União Europeia

A União Europeia (UE) é uma união económica e política de 27 Estados-membros independentes situados principalmente na Europa.11 A UE tem as suas origens na Comunidade Europeia do Carvão e do Aço (CECA) e na Comunidade Económica Europeia (CEE), formadas por seis países em 1957. Nos anos que se seguiram, o território da UE foi aumentando de dimensão através da adesão de novos Estados-membros, ao mesmo tempo que aumentava a sua esfera de influência através da inclusão de novas competências políticas.

General remarks:

  • The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.
  • Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
  • Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
  • The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
  • The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
